Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?
Bill will read Dracula!
Loading ...Bill Nighy and Silk sounds
A short interview with Bill Nighy about Davy Jones at movieweb.
Bill Nighy also reveals what he is currently working on:
The thing I’ve mostly been involved in lately is a project that is basically my project, which is this thing where I want to put great books on your iPod, read by great people. So basically, famous people reading your favorite book. Its called Silk Sounds. I read Edgar Allen Poe, we have the complete Sherlock Holmes, we’ve got Jules Verne, we’ve got Henry James. We’ve got some very cool people reading. The idea is that it would introduce younger people to great literature. You can download it on your iPod for a couple of bucks. The idea is that its ridiculously cheap and you get to hear some of the greatest books ever written, read entertainingly by some of your favorite actors.
What a Billiant idea.
Keep an eye on the website : www.silksoundbooks.com
Bill Nighy has read The Dupin Mysteries by Edgar Allan Poe. The website is planning to open in the next few weeks.
What a fabulous idea Silk Sounds is, it is just right for many of our students aged 16-25, the iPod generation; many of our students have print impairments for many reasons, and many books just aren’t in alternative format. Looking forward to seeing more of this project. Keep me posted!
I absolutely agree with you. It is a great way to introduce those books to younger people, even though I am sure a lot of “older” people are going to be interested in this as well, with actors like Bill Nighy reading them. It’s also great to see that Bill Nighy is combining his passion for books with his immaculate reading skills, as he does that so well. :)
